Time Entry Rules (TER) are specifically designed to execute validations when a worker saves or submits time entries. To display a validation message from the calendar entry dialog box upon saving, you must configure a TER. The correct process involves creating a Fast Formula that contains the validation logic, often by calling a delivered subroutine or function that can access worker schedule data. This formula is then linked to a message template within a rule. This rule is added to a TER Rule Set, which is then assigned to the relevant workers through their worker time processing profile. This configuration ensures the validation runs at the point of entry and saving.

B. All of the above: This is incorrect because options C, E, and F propose using rule types that are inappropriate for validation during the save action of a time entry.

C. Define a TSR Rule Set...: Time Submission Rules (TSR) run only when the entire time card is submitted for approval, not when an individual entry is saved.

D. Define a TER formula/template using a delivered workforce management calendar validation function...: While also describing a TER, this option is less precise than A. A function's purpose is to perform a validation check, not directly "to display" a message; the rule framework handles the display. Option A more accurately describes the validation logic.

E. Define a TCR formula/template...: Time Calculation Rules (TCR) are executed by the "Calculate Time" process, which is separate from the interactive saving of a time entry.

F. Define a Time Device formula...: Time Device Rules (TDR) are used to validate time data imported from external time collection hardware (e.g., badge readers), not for entries made directly in the application UI.

Chapter 6: Time Rules

Section: Overview of Time Rules.

This section explicitly states

"Time entry rules validate time entries when workers save or submit their time card... You can also use them to validate entries on a time collection device." This confirms that TER is the correct rule type for validation on save. It also defines the other rule types (TSR

TCR

TDR)

confirming why they are incorrect for this scenario.

Chapter 6: Time Rules

Section: Time Entry Rule Components.

This section details the required components: "A time entry rule has these components: a formula to determine if the time entry is valid

a rule template to create the messages... a rule that links the formula and template

and a rule set that includes the rule." This directly supports the configuration steps outlined in the correct answer (A).

3. Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud Fast Formula Reference Guide (Release 13)

Section: Formulas for Time and Labor.

This guide provides details on creating formulas for Time and Labor. It describes the use of Database Items (DBIs) and functions to retrieve information

such as schedule details

within a formula. The concept of calling a pre-built or custom subroutine/function for specific validation logic

as described in option A

is a standard practice illustrated in this documentation. For example

it lists delivered formulas like WFMSCHEDULEVIOLATIONFORMULA which exemplifies this pattern.
